Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

a_chinn Cheh Chang and the Venom Mob deliver again! The film is essentially two stories. One about the Ten Tigers seeking disciples to train and then exact their revenge on an evil general. The second half of the film follows the disciples fighting off a group of assassins. So the story is a standard martial arts tale of revenge, but this is a Venom Mob film, so the action is going to be far above average. Director Cheh Chang, along with Ti Lung, Fu Sheng, and Phillip Kwok deliver the goods. I think the finale is worth noting that the demise of the film's villains was wildly unexpected and contains one of the craziest martial arts decapitations scenes ever ("Riki-Oh" not included)!

poe426 With so many of Chang Cheh's stalwarts on hand, it's impossible not to like TEN TIGERS OF KWANGTUNG. The always reliable Ti Lung (the backbone of so many martial arts epics over the years) plays Li, a pawn shop owner whose pawn shop has a hidden room for hiding anything and anyONE of value. It's not long before the masked revolutionary Cai, on the run from Qing minions, turns up needing "any port in a storm." Lung naturally puts him up. Enter Lo Meng as "Iron Finger" Chen, and things start to get still more interesting. It isn't long before The Lucky Gambling House becomes a battleground. (At one point, a villain dangling by his heels from the ceiling is literally decapitated by a drop kick...) Among the few extras on the DVD I have is a 2001 poem by Chang Cheh. The last two lines are interesting: "What does opulence amount to? Only a dream across the silver screen!"

nonicetime When I watch Kung Fu films I usually like to take off my thinking cap and drown myself in action and cheesy plots. Very rarely do I encounter a Kung Fu film where I find myself confused when the ending comes, and this is exactly where I found myself at the end of Ten Tigers of Kwangtung. This film has one of the greatest Shaw Brothers casts of all time. Ti Lung, Fu Sheng and the Venoms are the lead actors and are all in top form. In case you haven't see it is about a group of fighters teaming up to protect a Ching loyalist. The group of fighters will eventually come to be known as the Ten Tigers and safely guide this Ming rebel to the South to meet with his troops. There are a lot of plot twists and betrayls in between all of this. There are a lot of flashbacks in this film. It starts off in the present time with Ming loyalists trying to kill off the disciples of the Ten Tigers and flashes back to why they want to kill them. The flashbacks show in detail how the Tigers were formed and the film does it's best to develop each character. The knock on this film is that there are too many characters, flashbacks and plot twists. These are the reasons why this film is great IMO and maybe even the greatest. There aren't many Kung Fu films that you have to watch a few times to really understand and the fighting is top notch. If you haven't seen it be sure to watch it and if you have seen it watch again, more than once

dwpollar 1st watched 8/17/2003 - 4 out of 10(Dir-Cheh Chang) Kung Fu fighting from start to finish in this Hong Kong film. So I guess if you enjoy this, then you may like the movie, but I personally couldn't follow who was fighting for who from one scene to the next. From what I could tell this movie was about a couple of rival tribes battle over bragging rights for something(I'm not sure what). There was a lot of interesting props used in the fighting sequences which made it interesting to watch at times with a few bloody surprises thrown in for free. But all-in-all as a movie, this was not that exciting. It was kind of like watching a Kung Fu match with different costumes and in a way and was more like watching a sporting event instead of a movie. With that said, bypass this one if you can.
